"Sargent & Paris" at the Met

Some prints by my beloved Henry Fox Talbot, despite their rarity, are still on the market. Most fabulous selection on view at the AIPAD in the booth of Hans P. Kraus, Jr. Fine Photographs (along with Hiroshi Sugimoto's series "Talbotized" and other treasures). Just turn right as you enter the Armory

Fascinating self-portrait (1947) by Annemarie Heinrich and other photographic treasures presented by Galeria Vasari at the AIPAD show.
So happy to see that NYT included the gallery in its "8 Standouts at the AIPAD Photography Fair"
